The Twitter -> G+ -> DW/LJ pipeline again, this time on FFVII

So some Twitter discussion made me finally find the words for a Problem I have with FFVII's place in our culture-- the fandom, the sequels/spinoffs, etc., not the game itself. I might have complained about this to some of you before, in worse words, but I don't think I've done so here?

This will of course spoil the hell out of the game, which... I can see the temptation to declare that this doesn't matter for a game that old, but I also like introducing people to old games, so maybe it does? ( Use your own judgment when deciding whether you care. )
